Developmental Disability in Healthcare-Module 7: Suggestions to Take Action

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video encourages public health staff and organizations to act on gaps in services for individuals with developmental disabilities (DD) by connecting with local disability groups and improving accessibility and inclusivity. Engage people with DD in program development, ensure resources are inclusive (e.g., translations, sign language), and provide accommodations by adding stop checkboxes on registration forms. Utilize an inclusive program checklist, available through the course, to overcome participation barriers. The goal is to enhance understanding of service gaps and improve accessibility for individuals with disabilities.
